Angel Fire received 29 inches of fresh powdered snow on the summit on November 17, 2014 and 18 inches here in the Village. This is a great start to our winter ski season! It really makes us want to go outside and play!

The slopes open on December 12, 2014 so make your plans to be here. Until then enjoy a few snow photos!

“This year, the tree’s new location will ensure the season shines bright from the ski mountain all throughout the Village,” said Hopson. “We hope to see a big crowd of locals and visitors kicking off the holiday season! This year we even have a new children’s activity and two special ‘tree lighters’.”
